TRACKING May 31/June 1,
Judge: Sandy Briggs, Powassan, Ont.
With permission of the CKC, we ran both day's trials on Sat, May 31 and is was a cold (4C), windy, overcast day with ther threat of rain (that we got in the evening). Draw was at 8am, and first dog was on track just after 8.30am....a fast moving, very active and accurate Weimaraner who aced the 415m track in 3 minutes. New TD to 3 year old Seven Hill Timon, owner Nancy Pothier, from Kenmore, ON. The next two TD tracks were both run by German Shepherds, and neither completed their tracks. 4th track was a year old Golden Retriever who covered his 411m track in 3 mins. New TD to Taygold's Le Beau Roi Soleil, owners Michel Gravel and Karen Kennedy, from the Ottawa area. The last TD was a year old Bloodhound who is still learning and he was an NQ. 3 TDX tracks followed - no Q's although one came close. Then a UTDX dog, and 3 UTD dogs....none Q'd unfortunately. Our thanks to the track layers who did an awesome job plotting on Friday in wind and rain, and were out early Saturday morning laying the tracks so we could start at 8.30am. Thanks to Dale Canning, Carol Fletcher, Wayne and Joanne Groulx, and Treva Reed. Once the last dog had finished, it was back to the HQ for the maps and awards, and a pot luck lunch.
